Early results from Florida showed a tight race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney among an electorate worried about the economy and the direction the country is headed.

佛罗里达州的初步计票结果显示，现任总统奥巴马(Barack Obama)与共和党总统候选人罗姆尼(Mitt Romney)获得的选民支持不相上下。选民们对经济形势及美国的未来方向感到担忧。

Returns from some strongly Republican or Democratic states came in as expected. Mr. Romney won Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Georgia while Mr. Obama won Vermont, Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Rhode Island, Maryland and Massachusetts.

在几个强烈倾向于共和党或民主党的州，投票结果一如所料。罗姆尼赢得肯塔基、西弗吉尼亚、印第安纳、南卡罗来纳、俄克拉荷马、田纳西、佐治亚，奥巴马赢得佛蒙特、伊利诺依、康涅狄格、缅因、哥伦比亚特区、特拉华、罗得岛、马里兰、马萨诸塞。

In Florida, one of the most contested states, the president was running barely ahead of Mr. Romney with nearly four million votes counted. Mr. Romney was leading strongly in Virginia, another hard-fought state, with several hundred thousand votes counted.

角逐激烈的佛罗里达计票近400万张时，奥巴马以微弱优势领先罗姆尼；同样竞争激烈的弗吉尼亚州已计票数十万张，罗姆尼大幅领先。
